Mobile devices have always been a very cool and convenient thing. Studies show that by 2015, 80% of people accessing the Internet will be doing so from mobile devices. [1] They have always been seen more as something for entertainment, but recently they have been put to better use. Universities like Stanford [2] and the Indira Gandhi National Open University have both gone mobile. [3] Mobile devices provide just-in-time, just-in-place learning. [4] It is cheaper, faster, smaller way of having everything together all at once at the same time. Mobile devices already being used for education are ipads, cell phone apps, ebooks, and smart phones.
